Robin Bartlett said, "Yes!" Will she say, "I do," when the big day arrives? From his cultured handsome looks to his vast fortune, Antonio "Tony" Viscolli is every red-blooded American girl's dream match. It doesn't hurt that he completely loves and adores Robin with all his heart and soul from practically the moment they first meet. Robin comes from a blistering past, struggling and fighting for the survival of herself and her two younger half-sisters in a cold, cruel world. By the time Tony thaws her heart, she has known hunger, poverty, violence, and want. Robin never had a chance to dream of a white wedding gown or a prince charming. Instead, her dreams were nightmares dark and clouded with fear and desperation. For months, Tony courted the blond beauty with the sapphire eyes. He teased Robin and pursued her. He showered with attention, respect, and charm. He covered her in diamonds, sapphires, and rubies. Tony satisfied every heart's desire. Finally, Robin came to understand God's love for her as imitated by the unconditional love Tony freely offered. Then, on a sunny Florida beach, Tony proposed and Robin eagerly said "Yes!" Back in bitter cold Boston, doubts about becoming a billionaire's bride begin to crowd out her hopes for happiness. Robin worked for tips until just a few months before Tony proposed on that sunny stretch of sand. In fact, she waited his table less than half a year earlier. Having no experience facing these challenges, Robin struggles to cope feeling the pressures of relocating; of unreliable transportation; of the never-ending details of the shower, the ceremony, the reception, the honeymoon; of worries that her sisters will smoothly transition along with her; of changing her name; all while dealing with her father's very serious legal problems. As the date draws inexorably near and the pressure mounts, Robin begins to grasp the scale of her fiancé's vast material wealth and holdings, the responsibilities of the virtual empire he commands. She witnesses his generosity when he takes on a young protégé straight from the tough South Boston streets. Ultimately, Robin questions whether she is truly the girl of Tony's dreams. Is she the woman God has made for him? In taking her on as a wife, would she act as helpmeet or poison apple? In truly loving Tony, would it be better to bind herself to him for all eternity or return his freedom? When her nightmares return in full force, they remind Robin of an even deeper and more terrifying prospect. Will she give in to her insecurities and cancel Boston's "Royal Wedding" for good? Or, with God's guidance, will Tony sacrifice everything to prove to his beloved Robin her true worth?

The prophet Nehemiah's cousin can speak numerous languages, keep complex accounts, write on rolls of parchment and tablets of clay, and solve great mysteries. There is only one problem: she's a woman in a man's court. In her early childhood years, Sarah experienced the death of her mother and her father's subsequent emotional distance, and she came to two conclusions: God does not care about me, and my accomplishments are the measure of my worth. Catapulted into the center of the Persian court, Sarah is working too many hours, rubbing elbows with royalty, and solving intrigues for the Queen. Ironically, it isn't failure—but success—that causes Sarah to lose her only source of external validation. Sarah soon learns that she has something of worth to offer beyond her ability with languages and sums; her very being proves to be a blessing to others, particularly the aristocrat Darius, whom she is given to in marriage. Sarah and Darius' story continues in Harvest of Gold. Darius may be able to learn to love his wife, but can he ever learn to trust Sarah and her Lord?

To Robin Bartlett, men were nothing more than violent users. After a hair-raising childhood, Robin and her two younger half sisters battled simply to survive. Determined to give her sisters a very different life from that of their mother; to never have to rely on a man for anything, she worked two jobs and put them both through college, while accepting help from no one. Her heart had turned to ice and she had no use for men or God. Antonio “Tony” Viscolli had grown up on the streets, homeless. At seventeen, he entered a downtown church with the intent of casing it, but found himself on his knees at the altar. After being fostered by the youth minister, Tony followed God’s leading and eventually became a very successful and powerful businessman. In a fallen world, he was a gem. When Tony bought the restaurant where Robin bartended, she immediately resented his intrusion into her well ordered, but exhausting, life. She suspected his offering her special attention and constant kindness was merely his way of expecting something from her in return, something she wasn’t willing to give. Tony knew God had led him to Robin. Would she ever allow herself to trust him? Could she ever allow herself to trust God? Or would the winter of their tragic youth rise from the shadows of the past and freeze any chance at happiness? *********** bridgeman, clean, christian, christian drama, christian family drama, christian fiction, christian love story, christian mystery, christian romance, christian romantic mystery, christian romantic suspense, christian romantic thriller, christian suspense, christian thriller, contemporary, contemporary christian, contemporary christian fiction, contemporary christian romance, contemporary christian suspense, contemporary drama, contemporary inspirational fiction, contemporary inspirational romance, contemporary inspirational suspense, contemporary love story, contemporary suspense, drama, dramatic christian, dramatic christian fiction, dramatic christian romance, dramatic christian suspense, dramatic inspirational fiction, dramatic inspirational romance, dramatic inspirational suspense, dramatic love story, dramatic suspense, edgy christian fiction, edgy christian romance, edgy inspirational fiction, edgy inspirational romance, fiction, God, hailey bridgeman, haley bridgeman, halle bridgeman, hallee bridgeman, Holy Spirit, inspirational, inspirational christian fiction, inspirational fiction, inspirational romance, inspirational suspense, Jesus, love, love story, olivia kimbrell press, romance, romantic christian, romantic christian fiction, romantic christian romance, romantic christian suspense, romantic drama, romantic inspirational fiction, romantic inspirational suspense, romantic inspirational thriller, romantic love story, romantic suspense, romantic themes, suspenseful drama, traditional love story, traditional romance, traditional suspense, Jewel Series, Sapphire Ice, Greater Than Rubies, Emerald Fire, Topaz Heat, Christmas Diamond, Christmas Star Sapphire, Religion and; Spirituality, Spirituality, Protestantism, Theology, Worship and; Devotion, Sacred Writings, Gifts, Personal Growth, Women, Music, Creationism, woman, Hebrew Bible (Old Testament), spiritual gift, Conduct of Life, Family, Health, Men's Inspirational, Miracles, Personal Testimonies, Women's Inspirational, Men's Personal Growth, Motivational, Philosophy, Spiritual Healing, Transformational, Women's Personal Growth, Evangelical, Life Application, inspire, inspires, inspiration, christian poetry, Hymns, christians, christianity, creation, spiritual gifts, man, men, personal testimony, relationship, Romantic Heroes, New Adult and; College, humor, Beaches, Second Chances, Wedding, Workplace, General, new adult, spirit, Sports, sport, football, Rich and; Wealthy, billionaire, millionaire, rich, wealthy, second chance, Mystery, Thriller and; Suspense Characters, Mystery, Thriller and; Suspense, Mystery, Thriller and; Suspense Moods, Mystery, Thriller and; Suspense Settings, Crime, Thriller and; Mystery , Female Protagonists, Mystery, Urban, Suspense, Murder, Literary Fiction Themes, Women's Fiction Themes, 21st Century, Childhood, Alcohol and; Drug Abuse, Family Life, Friendship, Love Stories, Marriage, Politics, Religion, School and; College, Career and; Workplace, Parenthood and; Children, Dating and; Relationships, Singlehood, Sisterhood, Weddings, alcohol abuse, drug abuse, religious, spiritual, career, working, parent and children, dating, relationships, single women, sister, Corporations, Romantic, visionary, sprititual, bestselling, best-selling, award winning, acclaimed, readers choice, five star, 5 star, favorite, rags to riches, cinderella story, clean best sellers, clean books for women, clean books for girls, clean books for teens, clean romance books, clean romance novels, clean romance stories, clean romance free, clean romance novella, clean suspense, Christian fiction books, Christian fiction romance, Christian fiction romance best sellers, Christian fiction romance books, Christian fiction mystery and suspense, Christian fiction for women Readers of Francine Rivers Redeeming Love will love this book

In today's culture, biblical womanhood is a lost art. Women are in a daily battle to embrace their biblical roles within their homes. Sadly, society looks down on the biblical woman, viewing her as weak and subservient, but as Christian women, we know the truth. The biblical woman is strong, supportive, and faithful. Jesus came to redeem and restore this generation of women to live with victory and purpose. Far Above Rubies is one program, with three distinct parts; the Book, 12-filmed Workshops, and a Workshop Guide, built by author and speaker Brenda Leavenworth to aid women in reclaiming their God-given mandate. Each week, of this 13-week program, contains a two-part lesson aimed at establishing a solid biblical foundation. A corresponding video component is available, providing 12 practical workshops, one for each week, for managing the home. Woven into the pages are Brenda's eclectic life experiences as a ministry wife and the mother of a former child actor in Hollywood. Far Above Rubies is the perfect study for those who wish to reclaim biblical womanhood and bring glory to His name.
